It was truly filled ...read more

    Jesus went about preaching. Paul was compelled to preach Christ. What is the preacher’s central theme?

    We have just heard that reading from Mark’s gospel where we hear of Jesus, first healing Simon’s mother-in-law (Do we, by the way, realise that Simon- or Peter as he was renamed, was a married man?), then healing many sick people and driving out many demons in Capernaum. Mark’s Gospel is an ...read more

    Jesus And His Prayer Life Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 7, 2023
     | 1,780 views

    We all need a daily pattern of prayer. Sometimes we also need an extended time of prayer. It means we are following the pattern of our Lord and really making time for solitary prayer a priority along with our corporate time of prayer.

    We need to pray. We need to follow the example of our Lord Jesus who made prayer a priority. We will look at the passage of scripture that tells us about when Jesus got up very early and got off by himself to pray. There was a cartoon where one praying mantis was talking with another and said, ...read more

    Be motivated by the Love of Christ, and nothing else. Pray that we will apprehend the greatness of His love.

    Following last week’s passage, where we see how a sinful woman expressed great affection for Jesus - Luke 7:36ff.
